Editing Henry Fonda (section)

===On acting===

The writer Al Aronowitz, while working on a profile of Jane Fonda for ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]]'' in the 1960s, asked Henry Fonda about [[method acting]]: "I can't articulate about the Method", he told me, "because I never studied it. I don't mean to suggest that I have any feelings one way or the other about it...I don't know what the Method is and I don't care what the Method is. Everybody's got a method. Everybody can't articulate about their method, and I can't, if I have a method—and Jane sometimes says that I use the Method, that is, the capital letter Method, without being aware of it. Maybe I do; it doesn't matter."<ref name="blacklistedjournalist.com">{{Cite web |title=Jane Fonda, Henry Fonda, Baronessa Afdera Franchetti, Lee Strasberg, Paula Strasberg, Marilyn Monroe, Maibu, Marty Freed, Mervin Leroy, Jimmy Stewart, Susan Strasberg, Ingrid Bergman |url=http://www.blacklistedjournalist.com/column63j.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101132519/http://www.blacklistedjournalist.com/column63j.html |archive-date=January 1, 2018 |access-date=November 10, 2018 |website=blacklistedjournalist.com}}</ref>

Aronowitz reported Jane saying, "My father can't articulate the way he works. He just can't do it. He's not even conscious of what he does, and it made him nervous for me to try to articulate what I was trying to do. And I sensed that immediately, so we did very little talking about it...he said, 'Shut up, I don't want to hear about it.' He didn't want me to tell him about it, you know. He wanted to make fun of it."<ref name="blacklistedjournalist.com" />
